It was the perfect place to bring California State University- Los Angeles team to experience rural, organic life. We were able to travel easily to nearby villages and health centers to do our foundation work. One couldn’t have asked for better hosts. Aunty and uncle are full of love and very giving. Enjoyed most delicious food, support staff’s hospitality and Ayurvedic treatments. Surely will be back when our work brings to this district. Will miss Chotu, the dog. 3-8 July 2016

We stayed here for three nights. Had a pleasant stay with delicious home made food which was made out of their own farm fresh vegetables. Mr Sugunan and Mrs Geetha were very friendly and explained us as to how they are maintaining the farm. On the whole it was pleasant homely stay away from the city buzz and among natural environment and sounds of variety of birds…. 24-27 June 2016

Not even the King of Mysore would have enjoyed himself at the palace like we did at Hillview farms. . We were lured by the promise of greenery, , and tranquilty and we found it in spades. But it is the warmth and love we received from uncle and aunty that has left an indelible imprint upon our hearts and memories. Aunty’s cooking had us looking for excuses to not eat at a restaurant ……….. 9-12 June 2016

This was the most wise decision we made on the trip. We had an awesome time- loved every bit of it. The food is prepared with so much love , it tastes yummmm.

A wonderful place and beautiful people. Overall an awesome experience. Uncle and aunty are the best hosts one would ever think of – lots of things to learn from them as an younger generation. The place is developed with utmost care and interest and no wonder it has attracted a lot of guests from India and abroad. In my view, they are doing a great service to the society by sharing a place like this with others….. 16-18 April 2016

We ended months stay in India with a four day stay at Hillview Farms. It was a wonderful time with aunty and Chacha. The food was most excellent, better than what we have had at highly rated establishments across Karnataka. We enjoyed learning about farm and the garden and how some of our food got to our plates. We also enjoyed the chats introducing us to Mysore’s history and the connection to other historic sites we’d visited. The room was lovely and peaceful, again beating any other place we’ve stayed for the generosity of its facilities. Most of all our hosts’ kindness made us feel at home far away from home….. 12-15 January 2016

This was our second visit to the farm and had a wonderful time with my kids. The younger one saw a cow being milked and was thrilled. Both of you are wonderful hosts with lot of interesting things to share on organic farming, raring cattle. Wish to come back here again sooner 21-23 December 2015

Heartfelt thanks to Sir and Madam. Out of the world experience in terms of hospitality, personalized care and attention. A true ‘Home away from Home’. Extraordinary food, homely ambience and the natural backdrop made us reinvent our roots. Wish more people should be there in our dormain like you. You are a true ‘Role Model’ for us. We will again come for all of you.. 21-23 December 2015

Aaah! Best relaxation ever had!!! Hillview farms rock!!! I loved it, especially the pool, food, hospitality. Hope I can be here all the time enjoying the nature’s scenic beauty. My mom and her cousins enjoyed the spa. All the time we never felt the absence of T.V. and this shows the beauty of real family time……… I am expressing my feelings as, ‘ feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it’ review written by Raghav 14-17 November 2015

A home away from home. Fantastic experience. The food is awesome. Kids had a wonderful time. The family could spend lot of time among themselves as there is no TV in the room. All the best to Geetha aunty and Sugunan uncle. Looking forward for a second visit shortly. 10-13 November 2015

An accidental discovery of a gem of a place. Very warm and friendly hosts in a very serene place close to Mysore. Enjoyed every bit of our brief stay in the place. Wish we could stay longer. We will certainly look forward to visit again 27-28 October 2015

‘Fabulous place’ Thank God! I found this beautiful homestay in Myosre. So much better than staying in a dimly lit hotel room. The food was tasty. The farm setting among nature is what I always prefer to stay in. Thaz and Geetha were very hospitable. I liked the upstairs room set up with a verandah where I could spend some quiet time. Fantastic. If I am passing by Mysore and need an overnight stay , I will consider this placebefore any hotel or any such thing 26-27 October 2015

The place was simply wonderful! We had a great time enjoying the greenery. We got to see many different types of trees and plants and flowers.

I don't think I am qualified to give feed back , however I could try to provide my feedback in terms of number rating instead as I am not expressive as others. I rate it 5* experience as per the industry standard.. But the experience is too good. I look forward to come again and also share this experience with other and encourage people to come here and experience the good hospitality. Book experience, hospitality, rooms, cleanliness, food, environment, animals around, staff and location - all 5/5 Uncle and aunty 10/5- they are special and great!.....16-17 January 2015

The problem with this homestay is you want to continue 'staying' in this homeď?S. Time stands still here, even more so when talking to uncle. I have already found easiest route to travel here frequently from Chennaiď?S Look forward for more stays here......9-11 October 2013

We found out about Hillview on Google and after reading about the organic farm, cows and biogas plant we were sold. This place is even better than we could have imagined and an inspiration to us to be able to live similar life. The food and stay was fantastic. We hope to be back very soon! Thank you both for your wonderful hospitality and care 9-11 August 2013

First thing that strikes you is the warmth of the 'Couple'- a great team. They make you feel very comfortable and homely. The place is fascinating and good- Very peaceful and with nature.

Overall a memorable experience to cherish for a long time. 7-8 July 2013

Were blessed to be here in this fantastic place. Sugunan uncle has made us realize how to operationalise and execute plans towards distant vision that all of us carry in some part of our minds. Was the right mix of rural ethnic traditions and a living which are carried and loved to be in. Organic food, air and the environment was too good.....25-26 may 2013

A retreat from the madness that the crowds of the city have to mean on a visit to India. Enjoyed the serene and peaceful settings and a dialogue with silence at 5.00 AM in the morning. 26-27 August 2012
